Six-axis, physiological activity profiles create a more challenging cellular environment in the intervertebral disc compared to single-axis loading.
(American Chemical Society, 23 April 2025)Bioreactors provide a valuable way to explore interactions between the mechanical and biological environments of the intervertebral disc (IVD), but the replication of ecologically valid loading protocols is a huge challenge. ... -
Immediate and longer-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on scientific productivity in ecology and evolution
(The Royal Society, 23 April 2025)While the subject of much speculation, most quantitative assessments of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on scientific productivity (i) are based on self-reported survey data, (ii) cover only a short period of time, ... -
International perspectives on the meaning of engagement in biotechnology risk assessment: the case of gene drive
(Routledge, 21 April 2025)Biotechnology remains challenging for risk assessors. The risk assessment of genetically modified organisms was the locus of considerable, acrimonious, and politicised debate and subjected to intense scrutiny. Since then, ... -
“Looking at the big picture”: A qualitative study of ethics in science communication and engagement

Individual plasticity in response to rising sea temperatures contributes to an advancement in green turtle nesting phenology
(The Royal Society, 19 February 2025)Phenological changes (i.e. shifts in the timing of biological events) are among the most frequently reported population-level responses to climate change and are often assumed to be adaptive and increase population viability. ...
